THE Senate is strengthened by the
election of Reagan of Texas. He is con-
sistent bi-metalist and reasonable anti
monopolist. So long as Texas must send
Democrats to the United States Senate,
the Republicans will say well done every
time the Lone Star State chooses a man
like Reagan.-Denver Republican.

Nichols Wants to be Governor Again
The following correspondence ex.
plains itself:
SHREVEPORT, La, !
Febry |, 1887. :
Ex-Gov. Francis Il. Nichols, New
Orleans, La,
Dear Sir-It is said by some and
decided BY others that you would ac-
cept the candidacy of the Democratic
party for the governorship Of our State
at the next election, and in order to
remove all doubts, at the instance Of
many Of our staunchest Democrats, ]
have determined to write directly to
you.
We hesitate to act unless frankly
advised by you. If you will declare
that you will accept the nomination if
rendered to you, not only here, but /
believe in every parish and precinct
all over the State, voluntary organiza-
tons springing from patriotic impulses
will be formed to support your candi-
dacy and to elect members of the gen
eral assembly who will cordially up
hold your administration of the gov
eminent.
The people here have not forgotten
your services and sacrifices. The re-
membrance of your heroism in the
valley Of Virginia long years ago is
still cherished by many old soldiers,
and lives in the hearts of their chill
dren. Nor can any Louisianian-any
true Democrat-forget with what in
trepidity and craftsmanship You con-
Quoted in the midst of perplexities and
embarrassments, the movement that
swept away Radicalism and restored
the precious boon of self-government
to our State. They believe you are
fairly entitled to at least one term of
the Office to which you were elected
then. And if you will but speak the
word, the Democracy will rally to
your support, the old guard in the
lead, followed by orr younger men
marching bravely to the front -
proud and victorious column in which
all differences and dissensious shall
disappear for the common good of the
party and our State.
You consecrated yourself to pub
lie duty once, / hope you may con-
sent to do it again.
Yours truly,
y. M. HOLLINGSWoRTH.

Col. J. NJ. Hollingsworth, Shreveport,
Caddo Parish, La.
Dear SRI have the honor to &C
knowledge receipt Of your favor of LIST
instant. In reply to your question l
answer, that should the nomination for
the governorship of our State he ten
dered me by the Democratic conven-
ton | would accept it.
Sincerely thanking you for the kind
and flattering terms in which you re-
fer to me, am very truly,
Yours, ETC.,

Excitement in Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr.. j. f. Cor
ley, who was SO helpless he could not
turn in bod or raise his head; every
body said he was dying of Consump-
ton. A trial bottle of Dr.. Kings
New Discovery was sent him Find
ing relief, he bought large bottle
and box of DR.. Kings New Life
Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes of Pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was we'll and had gain
ev in flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial
bottles of this Great Discovery for
Consumption can be had at Jacob Gel
gers Drug Store.

A VERY MEAN MAN.-Itis mean
man that will steal a horse blanket,
but the meanest mean in American is
one who will steal blanket from his
own horse this cold weather. A resi-
dent of Walker county came into the
city yesterday with fine horse blan-
ket under the saddle. He went into
Whiteside street saloon and took a
drink of wbiskey. After coming out
he was observed to peer cautiously up
aud down the street, and after satisfy
ing himself that no one was in sight
he stole the blanket from under the
saddle and put it under his arm. He
then started on a run through the al
ley in order to get away. Upon his
arrival home he found that he had sto-
len his own blanket, and left his horse.
He walked 5 miles back TO get his
horse, and the next time he steals
blanket he will be careful to inquire
as to its owner.

-UPoN the Governor now devolves
the duty Of appointing a Judge to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal of
Judge Lazarus. Such appointments
are of the deepest interest to the PEG
pie of this great commercial city. No
political consideration should influence
the appointment, nor do we believe it
will. What New Orleans asks of the
Governor, is Judge to fill this vacan-
cy, learned in the law, conspicuous for
his high personal character, command
ing the respect, not only Of the bar,
but Of all classes Of the people. He
ought not to be ward politician, he
need not be a distinguished practi-
toner. The former are never fit for
such positions, and it is often the case
that the best judicial minds are not
found iu the ranks of the most con-
spicuous and ingenious advocate

A young girl walking by q stream
In silent thought. a maids day dream,
knelt down upon the glistening sand
And there wrote with her soft, white hand:
II love thee!'
A youth lay in a great trees shade,
just on the border of the glade,
And when the maid had gone away
He wrote below, the self same way:
Il love theel''
Years after, in a great arm chair,
A woman sat with silver hair:
A manly form stood by her side,
And said: 81 love you still, NY pride"
And soft the gray haired dame replied:
